We serve families affected by disability in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We believe God created us in His image, and that gives every one of us value and purpose. Unfortunately,in many parts of the world, including here in Congo, people with disabilities are often stigmatized and viewed as “cursed,” never given the opportunity to live out their God-given potential. If they are children or cannot take care of themselves, their families struggle to care for them with poor medical care, limited financial means, and a lack of public assistance. They are commonly pushed to the edges of society, left there to fend for themselves.
To this end, we create and partner with local businesses that are run by, hire, observe people with disabilities or their families. Our goal is to enable people with disabilities to access opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise be given, so they can thrive in their God-given potential.
Originally from worlds apart, Butoto from Congo and Adria from California, we married in Congo in 2022. We live and serve in the city of Goma, North Kivu Province, with our daughter, Joanna Jeanne.
Thank you for joining us through meaningful friendship, faithful prayer, and generous financial partnership. It is a privilege and a responsibility to do life in this place, with these people, alongside all of you. We’re blessed to say, “tuko pamoja”, or “we are together”. Thank you!
- That as a family, we would seek God's face and be committed to His Word at all times and in every place.
- That God would restore peace in the DRC and raise up Godly leaders in every sphere of life in the country.
- Pray that God gives us the wisdom and discernment required to encourage and assist others in our ministry.
